Chapter 108 Academy (1)

“Henry.”

“…Yes.”

“What happened?”

“It just happened to be like this.”

“…what do you mean.”

Viscount Camilton.

The man, who was a fallen aristocrat and had a sudden conversation with the king, looked at his son in a bewildering way.

Henry Camilton.

He was his hope, his reason for living, and his son, now a knight of superior skill.

A three-star article.

He even said that real skills are not three-star.

He won against five-star royal knights, didn’t lose much to six-star knights, and showed great enthusiasm to withstand the attack of seven-star knights.

“Too much has changed in just a few months.”

Until recently, Camilton’s daily routine was monotonous.

Sometimes I think of Henry, and I think of my wife. After farming, all he has to do is walk around the Redwood Order and talk to the residents.

It was at least an aristocratic moment when I occasionally shared a drinking cup with the Duke of Redwood.

But at some point, change came suddenly.

Knights from famous families came to visit, saying they wanted to embrace Henry. Those who would raise their heads anywhere bent over to Earl Camilton.

In fact, it was absolutely satisfactory to that far. I couldn’t ask more for Camilton’s own.

“Out of the blue, Your Highness is looking for you. No matter how amazing it is.”

When the royal messenger came, Lord Camilton was forced to panic. There was no reason for the king to find him.

Even more so when Henry’s name came out.

He rushed to the Warpgate, but upon arriving at the Royal Knights’ training camp, he figured out the situation.

“I thought my proud son did something again.”

“That’s what happened.”

“I can’t believe it happened.….”

The Duke of Camilton laughed in amazement.

Is that what you can put it this way?

Defeat the royal knight and hold the ordination ceremony organized by the king.

With a moment’s composure, Camilton returned to reality.

“Henry, you know, your position is a little different from other articles. The knight you have sworn in yourself has a very special meaning in this land.”

“You mean it’s easy to choose the owner, right?”

“I’m against it.”

“Really?”

“It means don’t touch it because it’s a knight I spit on. I wouldn’t dare look at you unless you were a big noble.”

Not right now, but it meant that Henry wanted to join the Royal Knights whenever he wanted to.

“Anyway.”

The Duke of Camilton arranged his words. There was plenty to say, but this was the residence of the Royal Knights. It was not a suitable place to have a father-son conversation.

“Well done. I graduated from the academy. Henry Camilton became a decent knight.”

“Yes.”

“That’s not a surprising answer.”

The Duke of Camilton laughed. His son grew up too much while he didn’t see him.

First, I collected my emotions. It was time to say what was to be said and to organize what was to be done.

A while ago.

When the Duke of Camilton met the king.

The king sent Henry out and had a one-on-one conversation with Earl Camilton.

Of course Henry doesn’t know what kind of conversation has been going on.

“The Duke of Camilton was granted the estate.”

Lucas Camilton began to say what he had to say.

The Duke of Camilton was no longer a fallen aristocrat. He was named as a noble in name and substance, and if he raises the tax a little, it is not a problem that he will be considered as a influential member of Ballaran someday.

It is natural that the king himself showed interest in the family.

There will be no checks that naturally occur during the growth of certain aristocrats, and it was also easy to receive “investment” as the sign Henry Camilton was created.

“As a writer, I am indebted to him.”

“You may be a count soon.”

It wasn’t an impossible sound. As much as I’ve given you, it wasn’t too much to give you a title.

But Lord Camilton shrugged.

I don`t think it`s an achievement I`ve made on my own. The title is not that important. Camilton’s direction is entirely up to you, Henry.”

“I have a father.”

“My duty was to try to keep the name Camilton going for you. As a father, as a shameful child.”

Henry couldn’t say anything at this point. I’ve never seen a self-made look this serious.

No, I was like this back then.’

When a royal official came to visit. When Henry told me the family couldn’t continue. The Duke of Camilton at the moment certainly had these eyes.

Only if there’s a difference.

It was the fact that the emotions in the eyes were the opposite.

“First of all, we must attend your banquet, too, shall I?”

“He said he didn’t have to come. You said you’d call me later…… I’ll finish up with the Academy stuff and stop by again.”

Once he had graduated out of the blue, Henry still had things to sort out at the Academy.

I also needed to give time to Earl Camilton.

Henry couldn’t even imagine how Lord Camilton feels right now.

***

Henry returned to the Academy.

The king’s order hasn’t arrived yet, and he still knew Henry as a trainee here.

I’ll deliver the order after the banquet.」

The king said so.

It could have been done right away if he had made up his mind, but it was definitely consideration for Henry that pushed it back.

Consideration to give Henry time to deliver the situation himself before the news gets out.

Of course.

The first place Henry went was Russo’s smoke and mirrors.

“Henry, are you back already?”

“Fortunately, it’s over soon. What about Marshall?

“Should I go first? Henry, you have a lot to say, too.”

“There’s a lot. It’s not something to finish soon.”

Austin nodded convincingly.

“That’s what you said. Marshall wasn’t constrained, and fortunately, I was able to identify him immediately.”

“Did you check?”

“Marshal’s got a lot of doubts. It’s just that I’ve taken for granted, and once I’ve questioned Marshall, I’ll check it out. You seemed a little shocked.”

“If it’s a shock…….”

“I don’t think it’s what you’s supposed to be. I tilted my head in a strange way.”

It wasn’t much of a reaction if it was someone else, but if the target was Marshall, the story was different.

The fact that his composure was broken itself was a huge response to Marshall.

“And now? I didn’t see it at the academy.”

“I’m back in the family. You said you needed to check something out.

“Is that it?”

“That’s it.”

It was a satisfactory result. The conviction that Marshall is an ally has already been obtained. If he could move freely, it would be in Austin’s best interest.

“So Henry, what do you have to say? I’m looking forward to it.”

The sparkling eyes contained expectations. Henry had not turned on the air at the moment. Because I didn’t want to.

Where should I start?

After choosing a horse for a while, Henry opened his mouth.

“I met Duke Rodrick.”

“……?”

“Your father.”

“My father? You met him? How?”

The rejection is not as big as I thought. Austin just opened his eyes wide and asked, really curious.

‘I’m glad.’

In fact, this was what Henry was most worried about.

Austin’s reaction to meeting Duke Rodrick.

Fortunately, there was no problem, and Henry was able to move on at ease.

The beginning was Colin, a royal knight.

After a few steps, the king appeared.

The last opponent was Christopher of the seven-star class.

“…7 stars? Sir Christopher?”

Austin looked almost astonished.

But Henry’s words are not over yet.

Right after the battle with Christopher.

At the king’s word, Duke Rodrick arrived there, and at the same word, he gave up his involvement in Austin.

“Oh, my God.”

Austin muttered with a blank face. The focus has been shaken.

The news Henry brought was dramatic, and at some point, the whole idea that had always occupied a corner of my head felt wrong.

I can’t get out, and I’m sure I’ll be dragged one day.

“I don’t know what to say.”

It was inevitable. It was unthinkable for Austin.

Even after this battle with the assassins, Austin actually didn’t have such high hopes.

But what is this situation?

“I’m…… hmm.

Austin swept down his face. My thoughts got all tangled up.

At that moment.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound penetrated Austin’s ear.

“……?”

The same was said Henry. It was like a bird, but obviously a different sound.

“It’s Marshall.”

Marshall.

The name of the man who led the shadow of the Rodrick family and raised Austin himself came out.

The problem is that this is Russo’s inside of the training camp.

The outside noise was a completely shut-off place, and the fact that it meant was clear.

“Young master.”

It was a rough and murky voice. Austin and Henry were able to face a man walking out of the training camp.

“Marshal!”

Austin shouted as if he were happy to see him. As I told Henry the other day, that’s what Marshall was for Austin.

Rather, he is more like a father than Duke Rodrick.

Even after things went wrong, Marshall was the only one in the family to reach out.

But then Henry was thinking a little differently.

[LOL] What? You turned on the broadcast again?]

Is that Marshall?][Laughing again]

“I just returned to the Academy. I didn’t know what had happened here, and I was only talking to Austin.”

First of all, I explained the situation. At the same time, he widened his distance from Austin. It wasn’t about running away, it was about making room.

“This is a place that Marshall was not allowed to do. Sometimes, I told Austin that only certain places in the academy were available.”

Even though he accepted the fact that he had been released from the restriction, he did not know that Henry’s own existence would be a stimulus.

“And while I was away, Marshall said he realized that there were no restrictions on himself.”

Marshall said he went back to the family to check something out.

If you’re back, you’ve got what you want.

“I’ll keep an eye on you.”

***

Austin stared at Marshall. It was strangely shaky.

“…Marshal?”

“I’ll report to you.”

Although he tried to sound calm, Austin noticed that even his voice was shaking.

“…Let’s hear what’s going on first.”

“The costumer is angry. The king’s royal command made it impossible for the family to access the young master.”

“What about Marshall?”

“Today will be the last time I can visit you like this. Fortunately, I was waiting near the academy. Your orders have yet to reach me.”

If you heard the order, you should follow it, but if you didn’t, you can’t help it.

Of course, since it’s a king’s name, you’ll be responsible when it’s revealed.

But conversely, it meant there was no problem if you were prepared to take responsibility.

“Today is the last day.….”

Marshall handed something to Austin, who looked nervous.

“The householder told me to deliver this.”

“……this.”

Austin narrowed his forehead. Once the goods were handed over, it was totally unacceptable.

“My father told you to tell me? This?

“Yes, young man.”

“No way. It doesn’t make sense, Marshall.”

Austin looked at his long-time teacher with his forehead narrowed.

Being together since childhood, in fact, more than a teacher.

What Marshall gave me now was a golden ring. An object with the patterns of Duke Rodrick in the center.

Austin knew what it was.

“It’s the seal of the family seal. Marshall, what are you thinking?”
